Hello, I am KENTA, a manga enthusiast! This time, I’d like to put the spotlight on Muichiro Tokito, the youngest and most remarkable pillar of “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba”. We will look into his spectacular past and the emotional conclusion of the final battle, and thoroughly explain why he risked his life in the fight! Join us as we embark on this inspiring journey together.
One of the most popular characters in “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” is Muichiro Tokito, the youngest Pillar. His battles and their endings have touched the hearts of many fans. In this issue, we will discuss in detail his spectacular past and the reason why he risked his life in the final battle.
Charm of Muichiro Tokito, Kasumibashira
Muichiro Tokito is the youngest Kasumibashira among the Pillars, the highest rank in the Onikagitai. Muichiro’s Breath of Mist, a derivative of the Breath of Wind, is characterized by its slow and rapid attacks. In particular, his original technique, Seventh Form: Obscuring Clouds (霞の呼吸 七の型 朧), is a hazy move that plays with the enemy and leaves an unforgettable impression once seen.
His battle scenes, along with their beautiful effects, perfectly match Muichiro’s calm, unemotional personality, and have captivated many viewers. But how did Muichiro come to have this personality?
An Epic Past and Family Tragedy
Muichiro had a twin brother named Yuichiro. The relationship between these twin brothers was deeply involved in Muichiro’s decision to pursue a career as a fencer.
One day, Amane, a member of the Onikagitai’s inner circle, came to Muichiro and told him that he was a descendant of the Next Nation, who used the Breath of the Sun. This news was a joy for Muichiro, but his older brother Yuichiro was opposed to Muichiro becoming a swordsman.
That night, however, Yuichiro was killed in an attack by demons. This event shocked Muichiro so deeply that he lost his memory and became emotionless; the meaning of Yuichiro’s last words, “infinite nothingness,” also had a profound impact on the way Muichiro lived the rest of his life.
Determination for the Final Battle
Knowing Muichiro’s past, we can better understand his actions in the final battle. He fought an epic battle against the most powerful demon of all, Kokushibo, the One of Sangen, who was once a swordsman of the “Oni Killing Squad” and also Muichiro’s ancestor.
Muichiro suffered the cruel fate of losing one arm and having his body cut in half in a battle that pushed him beyond his limits. Nevertheless, with his last ounce of strength, he succeeded in turning the Nichirin Blade red. This action greatly reduced Kokushibo’s ability to regenerate and ultimately helped him and the other pillars to defeat Kokushibo.
The Real Reason He Risked His Life
What was Muichiro’s reason for fighting for his life? It was not only to fulfill a promise he made to his brother Yuichiro; Muichiro fought for his friends, for his mission, and most importantly, to protect those he cared about.
In his final moments, Muichiro reunited with his brother Yuichiro and told him that he was born to be happy. These words encapsulate the “importance of friends” and “true compassion” that Muichiro found in battle; Muichiro’s actions were an expression of his determination and resolve to protect his family and friends, and his courage and spirit were deeply engraved in the hearts of many of his fans.
In closing
Muichiro Tokito’s story is one of the most moving in “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba,” and his life and battles offer us many lessons. Muichiro’s courage, determination, and love for his fellow man teach us what we should cherish in our daily lives, and the story of Muichiro’s final battle and the story behind it will only make “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” that much more compelling.
